How do you create a surface from a point cloud? The surface will be used to cut a profile in a part.

go here to get the point import macro

Bring in your ASCII delimited point data. You will then have to use selection filters to select points. Then use Insert->Curve->Through Reference Points. Use lofts, sweeps, or surface fills to create your surface from these curves. Hopefully your data is not noisey.

2007 premium has Scanto3d tools. I evald and wasn't to hot on it. I'll stick with my reverse engineering tools.
